The vivacity of his taste for pleasure, his perpetual want of money, and tie extreme mobility of his ideas, prevent any party from being able to place an absolute reliance on him. M. GILBEIIT DES VoISINS Will be a more formi dable Candidate. I understand that lie is a man not without worth or merit, though the spirit of party gave him that colour in the late election. What appears certain is, that should be be elected, he would defend the .party he belongs to with vigour, for he, possesses talents and firmness. The Mihisterialists do not seem disposed to unite with the Ultra Royalists to vote for M. OLI.. VIER ; and, on the other hand, the Ultras will not shake hands with them, and nominate M. BAR- THELEDIY. I therefore think it would be for the interest of the Miuisterialists to bring some men forward whose talents, character, and opinions, would obtain a great number of votes front all parties.— There certainly May be found such at Paris, and it would be strange if hiring only one deputy to elitt, each elector, of whatever side he may he, could not find the means of uniting in his " bul letin" a name adorned with a just celebrity, AFFAIR OF FIiALD6S. TWENTY-NINTH SITTING. - ALBI, APRIL 27. We feel no slight degree of pleasure in being able to announce that this dreadful affair is likely to be terminated. Several other witnesses have come forward (most of thew respectable persons), and all their evidences tend to prove the guilt of Bastide, Jausion, and their accomplices. To morrow (th- VE3th), M. I3OLLE, for Bancal's wife, and M. R•±MIGUIERES, for Bastide, &c. will he beard at length. Madame Manson, after the trial of the 27th, was reproved for her silence, and assured of the safety of her son. She ap peared much affected, and wept incessantly. It is supposed that Saturday will decide this business, which has engrossed the attention of all Europe. —(Journal des Debats.) SHIP NEWS.

ASYLUM FOR DEAF AND Dk MB CHILDREN.— Yesterday the Anniversary Fe,tival of this bene volent lw , titu ion was celebrated at the City ot. London .Tavern, Bishopszate-street, About six o'clock upwards of 200 friends and sooporters nt the Charity sat down to a most excellent enter- taitiment, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOU CESTER in the Chair, supported on the right by the Maiquis of Buckingham, and an the left by. Col. Gaitskill. The children were imtroduced by the Stewards, 24 boys and 12 girlsopid conduct ed round the room : four of the boys stood on the table before the Chairman, and recited some lines composed for the occasion. The Royal Chairman put several questions to the boys and girls, which they answered to,his satisfaction. The celebrated LAVALETTE is said to have re sided in Scotland for a considerable time past ; and it is added, that he is now in London. The celebrated Chieftain, Sir GREGOR MAC.. GREGOR, whose exploits in South America have been the theme of so much conversation in Eng land, had a narrow escape a few days ago from an " uniaurelled death,''' by the accidental over turning of a stage coach, near Wooler, in which he was a passenger from Newcastle for Edin burgh. A young Lady in the coach had her collar bone broken, and was so touch bruised, that she was obliged to he left at Wooler. On Monday last, as a Gentleman was driving a very spirited horse in a chais,e past Chafing-cross, attended by his servant, the animal took fright, and one of the wheels coating off, threw them both out of the chaise. The horse continued his course down Whitehall, until he reached the Horse Guards, where, the remaining wheel coming in contact with one of the hackney coaches on the stand at that place, the vehicle was shattered to pieces; being disencumbered of the chaise, the animal then made his way through the Horse Guards into the Park, where he was secured.— The Gentleman anti servant were both much braised by the fall, but we hope not dangerously. Paterson's Road Book scarcely contains the names of more places than are to be found in the list which Bistt has published of the Prizes. he sold last Lottery, and their various destinations. It is to be had gratis'at his Offices in Town, and of his Agents in the Country, and is really (at least to those interested in Lotteries) rather an amusing document. POETRY: SONNET, 071 the Report that the E OF LtvEßPoot intended to retire from Office. While yet the reseed Nations feel alarm, Rescu'd from Tyranny by BarrarN's aid, With zeal so long, so gloriously, display'd, 'Till all, at length arous'd, for FREEDOM arm, Freedom the potent, universal, charm— Retire not, LIVERPOOL, so wise and staid, Whose early days a blooming promise made, Time has matur'd, nor deem us free from harm. Lo ! GALLIA still at martial fame aspires, And Danger lurks beneath a specious face, Still may she spread her revolution fires, And run once snore, in blood, her hideous race; Hence BRITAIN still thy Guardian care requires, BRITAIN the Wos ld's great Bulwark and its Base ! EPIGRANI. When the Knight of the Lamp-post so civilly wrote, And promised the Doctor to come at his call, What a curious coincidence dated his note— From the Orator's dwelling at Lamplighter's Hall. ROYA L ACADEM Y. We resume our notices of the several produc tions in the Exhibition : 71. Fbe ChampPtre. T. STOTHIRD, R. A. The subject and the execution of this picture is alike airy, gay, and pleasing. Every part denotes festivity, and the co louring is congenial to the sentiment. 72. Portrait of Mrs. Tratts Russell. T. Put hcirs, R. A. This portrait is marked by soft and tender colouring, with interesting expression. We must rely on the usual fidelity of the Artist forcorrectsiess of similitude. 73. Portrait °like Bishop of Peterborough. W. OwEN,R.A . 79. Portrait of the Bishop of London.—Ditto. Both of these Portraits possess the usual merits of the Artist, and strongly resemble the respectable originals. 74. Portrait of Mitten Winn Depcira, a Javanese Chief who accompanied Sir T. S. Italics to ii,agland. S. LANE. A good Portrait of a Tery interesting subject. (To hr continued.) THE HEAT R ES. DEURY-LANG —The appearance of Mr. KEAN in a character which he had not before assumed naturally drew a very numerous audience to this Theatre last night. The part was Young Norval, and the Actor exerted himself very successfully.— There was a warmth and spirit in his general manner which, in a ! .:reat deeree, triumphed over his peculiarities. In some passages he displayed striking novel , y of expression, and altogether he .may he said 'o have increased his reputation by this performance —Miss MACAULEY, from the Irish .Stage, was t h e Lady Randolph. Her figure is good, and t,er face expressive, if not handsome. 1-I,r acti o n is unaffected and not inelegant. Her voice, of good tone, seemed hardly powerful enoug h, but s h e h as n or had sufficient prac tier to. adapt it to au extensive area. She played with feeling and effect. BCNGOUGH was a very respectable Glenalvon, but he had evi dently some illiberal opponents in the Theatre. POPE eave a good outline of Old Norval, but did not , t ,ffi e k tv ly subdue his powers into " the vale of years." We have again to notice the uncaudid partiality of the audience in not suffering any Per former but KEAN to announce the Play for this evening. Such a gross insult to other Performers must only be ascribed to silly enthusiasts, whose admiration can reflect no honour on the object of it, but must induce him to despise their pa tronage. COVENT-GARDEN.--A 'burlesque Piece, desig nated as:" A new Sentimental, Tragical, Opera tic Entertainment, called THR SORROWS OF WEE.. TH KR," was represented at this Theatre last night. The dangerous novel on which this whimsical Piece is founded is too well known to require description. An attempt, • therefore, to throw ridicule upon a work which, though written by a man of genius, has no doubt excited romantic feel ings, and led to desperate events in private life, de serves encouragenwnt. LISTON was the roman tic Wedher, and Mrs. LISTON the fascinating Charlotte. The earlier scenes were diverting, but, notwithstanding the merit of the ludicrous Hero, it excited such opposition towards the conclusimi. that it was announced for this evening rather by g4.!sture than by audible information. It will, however, probably he repeated with success. • THE WYKF,HAMIST :MEETING.--Yesterday the Anniversary Dinner of the Gentlemen educated at Winchester College, was given at the Thatched House Tavern, Sir Wm. OWEN, Baronet, in the Chair. The meeting was numerously attended. The Wiceamical Music was sung with great effect by the professional singers present. In the course of the evening, the health of Sir THOMAS LAVIB was given and dra k with great enthusi.asm. He returned thanks in all elegant well delivered speech ; and after the usual routine of toasts had been given, the party retired, highly gratified with the pleasure which is invariably felt in asso ciations of this description. A greater number of Wykehamists were present than at arty former Aoniversary. Yesterday evening the infant son of Sir ROBERT and Lady WiGeAm was baptized by the Bishop of EXETER, at their house in Connaught-place. The Sponsors were his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, his "Royal Highness the Duke of CLA RENCE, and her Grace the Duchess Dowager of NEWCASTLE. After the ceremony, a party of distinction partook of an elegant dinner, includ ing the Marquis of HERTFORD, Earl and Countess HARCOURT, Viscount and Viscountess BERNARD, the Hon. Mrs. I'ELHAM and TREFUSIS, Lord CARLTON, Sir BENJAMIN and Lady •B,LOOMFIELD, Sir EDMUND NAGLE, &C. &C. The following Noblemen are shortly expected to dine with Lord Exmouth, viz.: 'Lord PLY.. mouth, Lord TEiasnzouth, Lord FALnzouth, Lord DARTmouth, Lord Sinntouth, Lord Wtsmouth, Lord PortTsmouth, ,Lord Y Amouth, and Lord CocxEamouth. The entertainment will be sump tuous, and if all their Lordships should sit down to it, there will be a plenty of enjoyment fur all the mouths. AFFAIRS OF DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Yesterday a numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the Proprietary of Drury-lane Theatre took place in the Saloon, for the purpose of elect ing an Auditor, in the room of Colonel DOUGLAS, who has resigned ; J. Dear, Esq. in the Ch Mr. WRIGHT [imposed Mr. G. 11. ROBINS, as a Gentleman fully competent to the siioation of Auditor, in the room of Colonel DOUGLAS. The motion was seconded by Mr. Davis. Mr. PETER MOORII proposed as an amendment. that instead of Mr. G. H. Rubins, Mr. Aldemars Coxe be nominated auditor. The CHAIRMAN—." Then 1 have to put it to the sense of the Meeting, that Mr. Alderman Coxe should stand in lieu of Mr George Ilobius." The motion and amentitnent was then put sub silentio to the spew of hands, and there appeared a considerable majority in favour of the original motion but upon a reference to the Act of Par liatinent, tinder which the. proceedings are regu lated, considerable doubt having arisen whether or not tl►e tlection could legally take pace by shew of hands, it was considered adviseahle for supersede that mode of election, inasmuch as, by referring to two clauses in the Act, a share holder was entitled to vote according to the number of shares he held. Lord YARMOUTH proposed that every Gentleman uhoidd write iiis . name down upon a piece of paper, with the number of shares he possessed, and that the election may he so conducted ; upon which considerable desultory conversation ensued. 'Tl►e Hon. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD said he had held up his I►and for Mr. Robins ; and his reason for voting for him was, that he thought no Gentle• man ought to be auditor of his own accounts—. (Hear, bear !)—not that he meant to say Mr. Robins' abilities, were superior to thOse of Mr. Alderman Coxe, but the Worthy Alderman was al ready on the Committee, and, if he should be elected Auditor, he would have to audit his own accounts. A PROPRIETOR—" Had not the election be btt ter left to the next General Meeting."—(Cries of no, no, certainly not.) Mr. Alderman Coxa said he should be most happy to meet the.i.vishes of the Proprietors at large. If he should be considered more service able in auditing the accounts than in being one of the Gentlemen of the Committee, he should be glad that Proprietors should make their election. —(Hear, hear !) Mrs. BUTLER, who appeared sensibly affected, addressed herself to the Chairman in a e follow ing manner :—" Mr. Chairman, with great sub mission, and in the midst of all this discussion about Auditors and Committees, I should Ike to know it we have any dividend coming to us ?" A PROPRIETOR.—“ No, Mrs. Butler ; 1 am afraid you will wait some time for a dividend." In answer to some observations m ile by Mr: KINNAIRD, with respect to the marked secrecy observed in regard to the affairs of the Theatre, The CHAIRMAN stated, that it had been agreed that the concerns of the General Committee should be made public once a year ; but at a General Meeting the Proprietots did cause to the determi nation that the affairs should not be.published. If the Sub-Committee had abused their confidence, turn them out—(Hear, hear !)—But he knew they were Gentlemen of unimpeachable charac ter ; and such insinuations as had from time to time been thrown out against them could not be endured in private life. In any concern, either public or private, he never saw men do their duty more conscientiously.—(Hear, bear !)—He would say that the insinuations held out had been most detrimental to their property. The Hon. Mr. KINNAIRD said, he begged to say he hid held oat no insinuations against the Sub-Committee, but he would assert that the Sub-Committee was the child of the General Committee. The CHAIRMAN again condemned the publicity given to the affairs of the Establishment. Mr. G. ROBINS would he glad to know from the Chairman, whether any communication would be made of the state of the affairs of the Theatre. In the good times of Mr. Whitbread the accounts used to be regularly rendered, but since the much lamented (lea:I) of that Gentleman they had not been regularly called together to know when anal on what occasion they might be afforded some in formation on the subject. He hoped hg was not asking too much to he let into the secrets once a year. He was deeply interested, and lie would not do any thing to deteriorate the property; but he should be glad to be informed whether it was in such a state of consumption as to be near its decease, so that they might form some idea of letting it to some efficient person. The CHAIRMAN said it had already been ad• vertised. Mr. ROBINS corvinued.—" It bad been offered, but in such a manner, and upon such terms, as to render it impossible to be disposed of. A friend of his had offered IS or 20,0001. a-year for it, but he was afraid it was now so deteriorated, that it would not approach that sum." Mr. P. MOORI3.—" The very language you use is calculated to deteriorate it." Mr. G. ROBINS said lie was under the protee• tion at the Chairman, and he would not be put down. _ _ _ Mrs. BUTLER.—" Bravo, Mr. Robins !"—(A laugh.) Mr. ROBINS begged the Chairman would afford them some information on the state of the affairs. Mr. CHAIRMAN.—" I do not feel myself cloth ed with power to do it. I think it would be premature before the season has closed." Mr. ROBINS thought it hard that if they were in a state of bankruptcy they could not be in formed of the extent of the evil. A PROPRIETOR.—" I have not heard any state ment of the affairs." Another PROPRIETOR.--" If you stay here much longer, my fish will be spoiled, and I have to go to Brompton for it."—(Laughter.) Mrs. BUTLER.—" My roast-beef will bespoiled." —(Laughter.) Cries of ballot, ballot, now resounded through the Saloon. The CHAIRMAN then declared the numbers to be— For Mr. Alderman Coxe 63 For Mr. G. Robins The CHAIRMAN then declared Mr. Alderman Coxe to be duly elected, and the Meeting broke up.
